Ford E-350 Spongy Brake by John Newman
Post New Message My 1995 Class C motorhome is on a Ford E-350 chassis. The brakes have the anti-lock feature.

I had not driven the vehicle since Oct. of 05. I had started and ran the engine several times; however, while pre-flighting for a recent trip discovered that brake pedal was soft and with steady pressure would go to the stop with the engine running. Stop the engine and exhaust the vacuum from the system, the pedal was firm??? I went through my manual and troubleshot the system, decided it must be master cyl (no leakage, reservoir full to top and no evidence of leakage). Replaced master cyl and bled all brakes, still have the problem; however, brakes work great and stop the vehicle OK (pedal feel is better, but not awe inspiring).

My manual says bleed the brakes, if that doesn't work, the anti-lock must be bled with a "Scanner". Does anyone know about this bleeding process?

As I said, brakes work OK, I just don't think the pedal should be so soft.

Any advice on this will be apreciated.

Thanks in advance,
John
